Spicy lettuce salad from homegrown fresh iceberg lettuce leaves

Hello friends!! How are you? Do you like lettuce salad? Then you should try this spicy lettuce salad. It is delicious and very simple too. Though lettuce is not so popular leafy vegetable unless you are living in a city. You may face difficulties to buy it from a rural market in India. But in city, you will see a different scenario. You can easily buy lettuce leaves from any market in the city.

Not only that, people prepare different cuisines at home, they prepare burgers, sandwiches etc very often at home and without lettuce leaves such food can not be imagined. What do you say?

Many people love lettuce leaves in salad because it is healthy. So sometimes they even chop those leaves and eat as a salad. Definitely that won’t be tasty. But you can make it delicious as well as simple salad. How?

Well, you just need to add a special salad topping which is very easy to prepare. CAN’T AGREE?

Can you combine shcezwan sauce, soy sauce and lemon juice & salt in a bowl? Yes? Then you can prepare your super delicious & very simple spicy lettuce salad. You can have this salad as a side dish along with your meal.

But ……..

You won’t enjoy your spicy lettuce salad if your lettuce leaves are not fresh because crunchiness of leaves will get lost if those leaves are not fresh. So always try to buy fresh leaves.

That is why I thought to grow own iceberg lettuce plants in pots. So that I can harvest leaves anytime and use it in various dishes as well as this awesome spicy lettuce salad. I bought a packet of lettuce seeds from a plants/seeds shop. It costs me around Rs 60 for that packet of iceberg lettuce seeds.

I sowed seeds on 9th October 2019 and after around 2 months, yesterday I harvested 2 lettuce plants which were not growing as faster as other lettuce plants (because I have grown 2 plants in the same pot) in my rooftop garden.
